A counter or hatch grille is a small roller or retractable grille that closes off a serving hatch, kiosk window, bar or reception counter. It secures the opening between the public side and the stock or till behind, while staying compact enough for tight spaces.
What you can specify
- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Manual operation for small openings
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Neat integration with countertops
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
Fitting in Falmouth and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Falmouth and across the TR11 postcode district, as well as in nearby Truro (8 miles) and Redruth (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Cornwall's stock is largely granite and slate cottages, terraces and holiday lets, with many seasonal properties left empty for part of the year.
This type of grille suits:
- School and canteen serveries
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- Takeaway and café hatches
- Ticket and reception counters
Questions we will ask at the survey
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Coil box or side stack
Roller grilles need a little head space; retractables need side space.
Planning and safety in England
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Counter and hatch grilles in Falmouth: questions
Do you cover Truro as well as Falmouth?
Yes. As well as Falmouth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Truro, Redruth and Camborne, and elsewhere in Cornwall.
Are these grilles suitable for food areas?
Aluminium and stainless finishes are easy to clean and suit serveries.
Will the grille fit under our ceiling?
Compact roller grilles need only a small box. If there is no head space, a retractable grille that folds to the side works instead.
Can you fit it into an existing counter?
Yes, by fixing to the counter structure or a subframe built into it.
